Why are barre chords so hard to do on acoustic guitar ?

Barre chords are the same on all guitars – but are harder on acoustic guitars because the action (distance between strings and fretboard) tends to be higher and they are often a thicker guage wire (which means are often tighter). So, they are harder to press down enough to get a clean sound.
